Top 5 TV shows you must watch before you die

Well, TV is funny. It has a thousand
channels and ten thousand shows, yet when we sit in front of TV to watch
something, all you get is some pathetic shows.

Why do you try out the list here? It
doesn’t matter how you watch it: On your TV, laptop or even tablet. If you like
TV, these are the shows that you simply can’t afford to miss in your lifetime.

1. L O S T

The beginning of television can be traced
back to 1884. But it took 120 years finally to use this medium to the fullest... for LOST to begin in 2004.

What is L O S T all about?

It’s the story of survivors of a plane
crash in a strange island. That’s where
it all begins.

It’s a mystery. It’s a thriller. It’s a
drama.

Spanning 6 seasons, LOST told the biggest
and the most intriguing story ever told in the history of television. LOST is a
one big epic story with a beginning and an end. Probably there wont be another show like LOST
and so it will spoil you, because anything else you watch after this show,
would be just not be “LOST” enough.

2. F.R.I.E.N.D.S

This show basically defined the 90s- A
Sitcom about a couple of friends living in New York. Yup that’s pretty much it.(Ed- My best friend thinks friends should be on the top spot!) A complete LOL show that takes you on a ride filled with loads of laughter,
fun, love and the best of all- friendship. It hasn’t aged a bit even though it has been
ten years now since its finale. If you
love to laugh, go watch it. It will make your life seem a way lot easier.

3. 24

Jack bauer. He is the man, he is the best
action figure I have ever come across. What makes him so special? It is because
he is a human. Unlike other heroes where they win all the time, every where,
Jack bauer is a brave man yet he doesn’t always win and he has to make a lot of
personal sacrifices to do what he is supposed to do. He is a CTU (Counter
Terrorist Unit) agent who has to stop viruses, bombs and assassination attempts
in L.A The best part of 24 is that the story is told in real time and so no
flashbacks or flashforwards. 24 episodes of a season potrays 24 hours of a day.

4. Arrested Development

Now this is not yous usual sitcom. It is
crazy. It is weird. But its addictive! Its about one big crazy family where
Michael bluth( the only sensible person) takes over his dads business and the
countless problems he has to face. It is produced by Ron howard ( Director of A
beautiful mind, Da vinci code) and it is the highest rated comedy in IMDB. Now
that is something right?!

5. Sherlock

The name is Holmes. Sherlock Holmes

This is the only show on this list which is
still on air. Well Sherlock is a UK TV series telcasted in BBC which is
basically the modern interpration of the most genius detective we have ever
known.

Only 6 episodes till now, but each episode is
for about 90 mins and hence its gives a feeling of watching a movie.
Brilliantly written and technically way ahead of all other tv series. This is the perfect homage to Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle and I will even say that it is even better than the Sherlock holmes
movies directed by Guy Ritchie. With just two seasons, it has become a masterpiece.

Hope you liked my list. Well these are my
personal views and I haven’t seen all the shows on TV. Im sure there are quite
a few, equally good shows which I haven’t seen yet.
